Overview

Overproduction of Bioethanol from Cellulosic Wastes is a comprehensive book written by Ningthoujam that delves into the emerging field of second-generation biofuels. The book focuses on the utilization of lignocellulosic biomass, which is composed of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, as a feedstock for bioethanol production. The book covers topics such as microbial cellulose utilization, pretreatment, enzymatic hydrolysis, saccharification, and fermentation, which are the key steps involved in the bioconversion of cellulosic wastes into ethanol. The author emphasizes the importance of process optimization to achieve maximum ethanol yield and efficiency. Moreover, the book discusses various feedstocks that can be used for bioethanol production, including energy crop residues, agricultural waste, and forestry waste. The author also explores the role of biorefineries and bioconversion technologies in the development of sustainable bioenergy systems. The book also delves into the challenges associated with the overproduction of bioethanol, such as fermentation inhibitors and the impact of bioethanol production on food prices. The author suggests biotechnology-based solutions such as the use of cellulase enzymes and fermentable sugars to overcome these challenges. Overall, this book provides a valuable resource for researchers and professionals in the biofuels industry, and for anyone interested in the potential of bioethanol as a renewable and sustainable energy source. It also highlights the potential for the development of bio-based products, which could help in achieving the goal of a circular economy.
